FOREWORD
We present this yearbook with a great deal of pride and satisfaction.
We think it only fitting that we honor our “peanut friends” because of
the important part they play in all our lives. From them we get the
title of our school paper, “The Peanut Picker,” and the annual, “The
Peanut!” Notice that throughout the book they are taking part in all
of the activities as you or I would. It’s with this thought that we present
the 1957 edition of The Peanut.

“Quisque dat optimum pro bono omnium.” This is
truly Miss Virginia Brinkley’s personal motto as she
has given her best to better^and further the work of
S. H. S. One of the students’ favorite teachers, Miss
Brinkley has also worked endlessly on The Peanut
as business sponsor for many years. She is known
throughout the school for her wonderful sense of
humor and outstanding teaching ability. We jointly
dedicate the Thirty-fifth Volume of The Peanut to
Miss Virginia Brinkley with a deep sense of gratitude
for all she has done for us.
Excellent teacher + dependability + keen wit +
knowing smile + someone in whom you can confide
+ someone always “busy as a bee” = our one and
only Mrs. Ann H. Burton, to whom we jointly dedi¬
cate the Thirty-fifth Volume of The Peanut. Having
worked so hard and faithfully as Editorial Sponsor
of The Peanut for so many years, she decided to
“take a vacation.” The Annual Staff will always
have a place in their hearts for such an outstanding
person.
BUSINESS OFFICE
Notice here that Mr. H. B. Brockwell, Principal, points out to his secretary, Mrs. Fred S. Norfleet
some new changes in student s schedules. Mr. Arthur E. Jones, Jr., Assistant Principal and Business
Manager seems to be making some business arrangements for the Junior Class while Miss Mamie
Basler, school treasurer, counts change left from the break.

WE, THE PEOPLE
The empty desks tell us there is a Senate Meeting.
This also means our home-room representatives
come at eight thirty and are now “in conference”
in the library. After the meeting, they will give
the students a full report of their activities, their
plans, and an idea of just what S.H.S. needs. Our
Student Senate leaders this year are George Bird¬
song, president; Roberta Baker, vice-president;
Sue Benton, secretary; and their adviser is Mr.
Brockwell. Their fine leadership has proved the
merits of our Student Senate.
The Senate Officers make plans for the com¬
ing year.
